docs/protocol-v2: point readers transport config discussion 

We recently added tips for server admins to configure various transports
to support v2's GIT_PROTOCOL variable. While the protocol-v2 document is

starting point for them to figure out how to turn on v2. Let's put some
pointers from there to the other documentation.

When using either the ssh:// or file:// transport, the GIT_PROTOCOL
